I have a 3 year old Jolida 202 amp driving some B&W 803 speakers. I found that the move to tubes really got rid of some of the harshness associated with CDs and now with the Squeezebox (digital sources). Sure you can spend lots on DACs with great analog sections and jitter free clocks but for $800 you can get a great tube amp. The Jolida has great resolution and soundstage. I recommend swapping out the power amp tubes (EL34s) for the Winged C Svetlanas. You can try the Electo Harmonix in the Pre-amp section. Anyway, it's a great amp for the money.
